This magnificently aged 53mm watch was hand crafted with each unit finished in a different artisanal way for discerning customers in search of a unique statement watch, and as statements go, this one is unforgettable.

This is the 2012 novelty U42 B7B with creative retro treatments applied to it so as to develop what Italo Fontana calls the UNICUM. According to Italo, the watch is the first attempt by a watch creator to propose a new model which at the same time is historic in design, but with each piece bespoke so as to be unique and highly individual to its wearer.
